Preheat oven to 500°. Peel potatoes; cut each lengthwise into quarters. Place potatoes in a large bowl; coat with cooking spray. Combine sugar, salt, and peppers, and sprinkle over potatoes, tossing well to coat. Arrange potatoes, cut sides down, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 500° for 10 minutes; turn wedges over. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until tender and beginning to brown.
1 1/2 cups chopped leeks (about 2 small stalks; white and pale green parts only)
8-ounce sliced portabello or crimini mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 1/4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup pearl barley
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
1 bunch kale (about 8 ounces), trimmed, center stalks removed, leaves coarsely chopped (about 8 cups packed)
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add leeks; sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until leeks begin to soften, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary; increase heat to medium-high and sauté until mushrooms soften and begin to brown, stirring often, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice; stir 1 minute. Add barley and 4 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until barley is almost tender, about 20 minutes. Add kale; stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Cover and simmer until kale and barley are tender, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls as needed for desired stew consistency, about 10 minutes.

Place squash stem side up on large cutting board, cut in half from top to bottom (use sharp knife) and remove seeds by scraping walls with a spoon. Coat both insides with olive oil and place flesh side up in a 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes, or until squash is fork tender. Remove from heat and allow squash to cool long enough to be handled. Scrap out flesh and measure out just over 1 firmly packed cup. In food processor or blender, puree until smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of puree and place in mixing bowl. Cream together butter and sugar with electric mixer. Add egg and squash. Beat well. Combine flour with the spices and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture. Add raisins. Mix. Spread evenly in greased 11-by-16-inch glass baking pan. Bake for about 16-18 minutes at 350 degrees. Spread with glaze straight from oven so glaze melts. Cook’s note: You really have to spread the batter in the pan because it is pretty thin, but it does rise enough when cooked. Yield: about 16 squares
